I didn’t even look to see if someone had started a thread on this, I don’t care, I claim this thread by birthright and by the fact that I am crying like a baby. A pretty decent article is here . From the article:
Hmmm . . . There was already a thread about this, that got not one single relpy, says Eve, who’s still pissed off that the deaths of singing legend Elisabeth Welch and writer Alexander Walker garnered not so much as a disinterested yawn . . .
Damn, and I thought she’d live forever. I had a roommate in college who literally worshipped her (although he later started dressing like her, which I found a bit odd).
Sorry Eve, like I said before I didn’t look, and if I could stop crying long enough I’ll finish writing a somewhat rambling post about Celia Cruz and post it here.
Oh, I’m not annoyed with you—I’m annoyed that three such riveting obits garned absolutely no reaction from the Dopers.
